The Houston Comets have appointed Rachid Meziane as their new head coach, bringing him over from the Connecticut Sun where he served in the same role. The move was reported Friday by USA TODAY's Danielle Lerner.
Meziane takes over a Comets franchise that returned to the WNBA in 2025 after a 17-year absence. The French-born coach previously led the Sun, guiding the team through the 2026 season. His hiring signals Houston's ambition to build a competitive roster around his coaching philosophy.
Financial terms and contract length were not immediately disclosed. The Comets' front office is expected to introduce Meziane at a press conference in the coming days as the team begins preparations for the 2027 WNBA season.
